Just a thought here ... but none of the Barbie clothes I've seen are modest. The skirts and dresses are extremely short. The tops are either low cut or show the mid-driff. They are very indecent ... not much of a role model for a six year old.
I was playing Barbie with my daughter today and it just hit me how immodest Barbie has become. She used to have better clothes many moons ago (at least dresses that went WAY past her knees). I don't know if it's the Barbie's we have or if it's all Barbies, but I'd love to see more modest clothing for Barbie.
How about a Christian Barbie? That'd be cool.
We try to teach our children modesty and decency and respect for themselves and others. And when we play Barbie, I try to keep this in mind when we're playing. It just seems a little hard when Barbie's clothing barely covers her. If I sewed, I'd make her some clothes, but I don't sew.
Anyway, these are the ramblings of a Mama ... |
